Ospreys flank Tom Smith will undergo surgery to his knee having sustained an injury in a recent clash against Edinburgh.
Having consulted with a knee specialist, the bad news for the Welsh region is that Smith faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
"Tom suffered a complex multi-ligament injury to his knee that will require surgery to repair the damage,"said Ospreys head physio Chris Towers.
The 27-year-old's surgery will take place within the next fortnight. The surgical procedure will be followed by an extensive recovery and rehabilitation process.
Smith, who made his debut for Ospreys in 2007, signed a contact extension in 2012. His absence will be felt as he offers versatility across the back row.
The Welsh-based side next entertain Ulster at the Liberty Stadium on Friday.

The World-Herald's Sam McKewon and Rich Kaipust examine each Big Ten team's 2013 recruiting class.
* * *
1. Ohio State
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Eli Apple
6-1, 185 pounds, cornerback, Voorhees, N.J.
The Buckeyes signed four cornerbacks in this class, and Apple is the fastest, longest and most physical of the bunch. He can also return kicks.
HIDDEN GEM: Timothy Gardner
6-5, 310 pounds, offensive tackle, Indianapolis
OSU had just five offensive linemen last year, so Gardner— a project who had Big Ten offers from only Purdue and Indiana — is a need recruit.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Jalin Marshall
6-0, 190 pounds, athlete, Middletown, Ohio
OSU coach Urban Meyer didn't have a Percy Harvin-type in his offense last year, and Marshall — a wingbone quarterback in high school — fits the bill. He'll be given a shot to play early.
BIG MISS: Laquon Treadwell
6-3, 200 pounds, wide receiver, Crete, Ill. (Signed with Ole Miss)
OUR TAKE: Behold the recruiting acumen of Urban Meyer. With a full year to recruit this class, Meyer didn't disappoint, collecting excellent athletes at key skill positions — running back, corner, linebacker — and getting a Braxton Miller clone in quarterback J.T. Barrett. The class lacks a great tight end or a big-bodied red zone receiver, but OSU addressed needs on the line.

ESPN national rank: 3
Rivals national rank: 2
Scout national rank: 1
2. Michigan
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Derrick Green
6-0, 220 pounds, running back, Richmond, Va.
Wolverines beat all the major players for prospect ranked No. 8 nationally by Rivals.
HIDDEN GEM: Da'Mario Jones
6-2, 185 pounds, wide receiver, Westland, Mich.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Jake Butt
6-6, 235 pounds, tight end, Pickerington, Ohio
BIG MISS: Jaylon Smith
6-3, 212 pounds, linebacker, Fort Wayne, Ind. (Signed with Notre Dame)
OUR TAKE: Nice haul overall, starting with Green being the Wolverines' highest-ranked get since quarterback Ryan Mallett in 2007. The bonus with Green is that Michigan made big scores with offensive linemen for the second straight year, including 300-pound four-stars Logan Tuley-Tillman and Kyle Bosch, who enrolled last month. Went into Ohio to snag defensive back Dymonte Thomas, linebacker Mike McCray and Butt — all Top 10 prospects in the state, according to Rivals.com — but Michigan checks in slightly behind the Buckeyes in the national ratings. Intriguing prospect is quarterback Shane Morris, who some think has an NFL arm.
247Sports national rank: 5
ESPN national rank: 6
Rivals national rank: 5
Scout national rank: 2
3. Nebraska
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Terrell Newby
5-10, 180 pounds, I-back, West Hills, Calif.
After going for a staggering 2,305 yards and 45 TDs as senior, might fit immediate need.
HIDDEN GEM: Maliek Collins
6-2, 285 pounds, defensive tackle, Kansas City, Mo.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Randy Gregory
6-6, 230 pounds, defensive end, Fishers, Ind.
BIG MISS: Lavon Hooks
6-4, 295 pounds, defensive tackle, Booneville, Miss. (Signed with Mississippi)
OUR TAKE: What stands out in a solid class might be the addition of four-star I-backs Terrell Newby and Adam Taylor now that Nebraska is having to replace not only Rex Burkhead but also Braylon Heard. The hype surrounding Johnny Stanton simmered last season when he sat (torn ACL), but the Californian is still a prized get at quarterback. NU appears to have helped itself at linebacker for the second straight year by landing Marcus Newby, Josh Banderas and Courtney Love. Didn't quite get all the defensive tackles it needed or wanted, but hoping for immediate help off the edge with juco defensive end Randy Gregory.
247Sports national rank: 23
ESPN national rank: 23
Rivals national rank: 17
Scout national rank: 11
4. Penn State
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Christian Hackenberg
6-4, 210 pounds, quarterback, Fork Union, Va.
The nation's No. 1 pro-style QB stuck with the PSU despite NCAA penalties. Hackenberg has all of the tools. Big arm, good footwork and decent mobility.
HIDDEN GEM: Richy Anderson
5-11, 175 pounds, athlete, Frederick, Md.
Penn State needs as many skill weapons as it can find. Anderson is shifty enough to play either running back or receiver.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Tyler Ferguson
6-5, 210 pounds, quarterback, Bakersfield, Calif.
The junior-college prospect will be one of two scholarship quarterbacks in the program this spring, and he'll have a head start on Hackenberg by a few months.
BIG MISS: Dorian Johnson
6-6, 280 pounds, offensive tackle, Belle Vernon, Pa. (Signed with Pittsburgh)
OUR TAKE: Given how fiercely the NCAA punished Penn State for the next four years, O'Brien did a more than respectable job of putting together this class. Hackenberg and tight end Adam Breneman are the best at their respective positions, while three defensive end recruits — headlined by Garrett Sickels — are impressive. The class lacks great playmakers at running back and wide receiver, and Johnson was a five-star lineman who decommitted from PSU to go with Pitt.
247Sports national rank: 26
ESPN national rank: 24
Rivals national rank: 40
Scout national rank: 45
5. Wisconsin
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Corey Clement
5-11, 205 pounds, running back, Glassboro, N.J.
Compact, downhill runner who should continue the legacy of great Badger running backs. Clement's grit is similar to Montee Ball's.
HIDDEN GEM: T.J. Watt
6-4, 215 pounds, tight end, Pewaukee, Wis.
The Watt name means a little more in Madison than to recruiting services. T.J. is the youngest of three, and he'll join older brother Derek at tight end.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Sojourn Shelton
5-10, 160 pounds, cornerback, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Wisconsin needs more speed and explosive playmakers, and the diminutive Shelton has enrolled early to help the Badgers on special teams and defense.
BIG MISS: Kevin Olsen
6-3, 210 pounds, quarterback, Wayne, N.J. (Signed with Miami, Fla.)
OUR TAKE: The Badgers rarely land top 25 classes, and 2013 was no different. Although UW got six players from its own state, it lost out on a few stars like A.J. Natter (who committed to Nebraska). The new staff in Madison is likely to be more aggressive than Bret Bielema was. Whether they can develop players the way Bielema's excellent staff did is another question.
247Sports national rank: 37
ESPN national rank: 33
Rivals national rank: 56
Scout national rank: 37
6. Indiana
HEAD OF THE CLASS: David Kenney
6-2, 250, defensive end, Indianapolis
The Hoosiers have a few players rated higher than Kenney, but this full-tilt, four-star tough guy is the keystone of the class. Indiana couldn't stop a flea last year. Kenney gives them a foundation for the future.
HIDDEN GEM: Rashard Fant
5-9, 160, athlete, Fairburn, Ga.
An explosive athlete from a small catholic school in Atlanta, Fant had mostly offers from FCS schools until Indiana discovered him. In 46 touches on offense, he scored 10 touchdowns and gained 917 yards. He averaged 22.5 yards on punt returns.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Antonio Allen
5-10, 205, safety, Indianapolis
The U.S. Army All-American will be counted on to help a pass defense that ranked 98th in efficiency last year.
BIG MISS: Elijah Daniel
6-4, 250, linebacker, Avon, Ind. (Signed with Ole Miss)
OUR TAKE: The Hoosiers hit Florida and Georgia hard, taking seven athletes out of the two states. Nearly 60 percent of the class is comprised of defensive players. Indiana ranked 103rd in total defense, so reinforcements are necessary. That IU, as bad it's been, can outrecruit more accomplished teams like Iowa and Northwestern speaks volumes about coach Kevin Wilson's ability to sell the future.
247Sports national rank: 43
ESPN national rank: —
Rivals national rank: 41
Scout national rank: 51
7. Illinois
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Aaron Bailey
6-2, 225 pounds, quarterback, Bolingbrook, Ill.
Bailey's a stud of a runner, often the best athlete on the field in a state filled with good athletes. He needs polish as a passer, but the Illini should have a pretty good zone read game.
HIDDEN GEM: James Crawford
6-2, 190 pounds, safety, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The nephew of Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson started just one year for power St. Thomas Aquinas, but had three interceptions in the Florida 7A title game.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Caleb Day
6-1, 190 pounds, athlete, Hilliard, Ohio
Illinois averaged less than 300 yards per game on offense last year, so any dose of athleticism is welcome. Day, a four-star prospect, can play running back or wide receiver.
BIG MISS: Ethan Pocic
6-7, 285 pounds, offensive tackle, Lemont, Ill. (Signed with LSU)
OUR TAKE: This is the "regime change" class for Illinois, the one where coach Tim Beckman had enough time to scout the guys he wants and bring in a big class. The Illini grabbed a lot of in-state prospects, including Bailey, who's the real deal as a runner. The class is missing game-changers on the offensive and defensive lines, however.
247Sports national rank: 46

Rivals national rank: 46

8. Purdue
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Danny Etling
6-2, 210 pounds, quarterback, Terre Haute, Ind.
The Boilermakers tend to attract good QB prospects, and Etling is the latest in the line of talented signal-callers. He'll get a look this spring.
HIDDEN GEM: Leroy Clark
5-10, 190 pounds, cornerback, Miami, Fla.
New coach Darrell Hazell's first commit could be a solid defensive back/kick returner. The Boilermakers need more speed.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Keyante Green
5-9, 180 pounds, running back, McDonough, Ga.
The upside on Green — who had offers from Ohio State, Florida State and Georgia, among others — is high as Purdue looks to have a more consistent running game under Hazell.
BIG MISS: Randy Gregory
6-6, 230 pounds, defensive end, Arizona Western College (Signed with Nebraska)
OUR TAKE: Hazell, a former Ohio State assistant, is handling this class the right way. It won't be too big, and it won't be highly rated, but Purdue pulled some good athletes out of SEC country to couple with Etling, who can sling it. Next year, look for the Boilermakers to have a much bigger class.
247Sports national rank: 62
ESPN national rank: —
Rivals national rank: 55
Scout national rank: 58
9. Iowa
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Colin Goebel
6-4, 275 pounds, offensive lineman, Naperville, Ill.
A potential three-year starter with good size and versatility to play tackle or guard.
HIDDEN GEM: Malik Rucker
6-0, 175 pounds, cornerback, New Hope, Minn.
Rucker finished with 83 tackles, two forced fumbles and two interceptions his senior season at Cooper High School.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Damond Powell
5-11, 175 pounds, receiver, Toledo, Ohio (Snow College)
Iowa needs threats in the passing game, so watch for Powell, who averaged 30.0 yards per catch last season at Snow.
BIG MISS: David Kenney
6-2, 250 pounds, defensive end, Indianapolis (Signed with Indiana)
OUR TAKE: Cover your eyes if you're a Hawkeye fan and big into recruiting rankings. Iowa landed nothing higher than a three-star prospect, according to Rivals.com. Huge setbacks were losing verbals from Kenney, whose father got hired for an administrative role at Indiana, and safety Delano Hill, a four-star out of Detroit poached by Michigan. Hawks also allowed Iowa State to nab West Des Moines offensive tackle Jake Campos, considered the top prospect in Iowa.
247Sports national rank: 55
ESPN national rank: —
Rivals national rank: 52

10. Michigan State
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Jon Reschke
6-2, 227 pounds, linebacker, Bloomfield, Mich.
Rival Michigan tried late to steal Reschke, who could be the eventual heir to Max Bullough in the middle.
HIDDEN GEM: Dylan Chmura
6-6, 225 pounds, tight end, Waukesha, Wis.
Chmura has good bloodlines at tight end as son of former Packers TE Mark Chmura.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Gerald Holmes
6-0, 205 pounds, running back, Flint, Mich.
There's a good chance Holmes and/or R.J. Shelton get significant carries in a Spartan backfield now without Le'Veon Bell.
BIG MISS: David Dawson
6-4, 282 pounds, offensive lineman, Detroit (Signed with Michigan)
OUR TAKE: Appears to be a typical Mark Dantonio class, with strength at linebacker and cornerback and a potential standout defensive end with Demetrius Cooper. Is Damion Terry the Spartans' future at quarterback? The four-star recruit from Erie, Pa., is coming off a monster senior season. Michigan State was able to get just one offensive lineman, Dennis Finley, a teammate of Dawson.
247Sports national rank: 33
ESPN national rank: 35
Rivals national rank: 38
Scout national rank: 44
11. Minnesota
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Berkley Edwards
5-9, 185 pounds, running back, Chelsea, Mich.
The brother of NFL receiver Braylon Edwards has the kind of breakaway speed the Gophers need.
HIDDEN GEM: Chris Streveler
6-2, 190 pounds, quarterback, Woodstock, Ill.
Streveler got only light Big Ten interest, but has the ability to tuck it and run when necessary.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: De'Niro Laster
6-3, 220 pounds, linebacker, Cleveland
Laster is one of four pickups at linebacker, where Minnesota lost two starters.
BIG MISS: Nate Andrews
6-0, 180 pounds, receiver, Fairhope, Ala. (Signed with Florida State)
OUR TAKE: It's a small class for Minnesota, thus not rated very high, after the Gophers had only 12 graduating seniors and some other departures. What they like about it, however, is the help they have found at the skill positions. Some see similarities between Streveler and Jordan Lynch, the quarterback that Gophers coach Jerry Kill recruited to Northern Illinois who led the Huskies to the Orange Bowl. The Gophers also went looking for speed on defense, and likely will try to convert a receiver or two to the secondary.

12. Northwestern
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Matt Alviti
6-1, 180 pounds, quarterback, Park Ridge, Ill.
The four-star prospect appears a perfect fit for Wildcats' spread offense and draws comparisons to Dan Persa.
HIDDEN GEM: Tommy Fuessel
6-3, 180 pounds, receiver, Frankfort, Ill.
Fuessel was somewhat overlooked because he was a high school quarterback.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Godwin Igwebuike
6-0, 190 pounds, athlete, Pickerington, Ohio
Igwebuike and Fuessel are among four athletes who can play on either side of the ball.
BIG MISS: Jaleel Hytchye
5-11, 170 pounds, cornerback, Cincinnati (Signed with Kentucky)
OUR TAKE: Speed and versatility stand out with this Northwestern class. Future offenses will get a boost not only from the Wildcats landing Alviti, but also four talented offensive linemen and a pair of 200-pound running backs out of California (Warren Miles Long and Xavier Menifield). Northwestern also worked Ohio pretty hard to get five prospects, including Igwebuike and 6-foot-7, 280-pound offensive tackle Sam Coverdale.

Ripe, fruity and powerful, this wine has intense Cabernet black-currant flavors, with plenty of richness and concentration. It shows the acidity and the bright fruit of the year.
(4/ 2012)
Another super effort from this estate, Leoville Poyferre-s 2011 possesses an opaque purple color in addition to a ripe, fragrant nose of black currant fruit, cedar, white chocolate and a touch of oak. Rich, layered and medium to full-bodied with unmistakable elegance and purity, vibrant acids and a fresh, lively personality, it will need 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for two decades.
(4/ 2012)
A very ripe, fleshy, gutsy style, with mouthfilling tar, espresso, braised fig and dark plum notes still waiting to meld fully. The broad, muscular finish has a nice briary edge. Impressive.
(4/ 2012)
Opaque, very deep purple-ruby. Deep, brooding nose hints at blackcurrant, graphite and cedar. Dense, rich and suave, with captivating sweetness to the flavors of blackcurrant, mint and flint. The finish is pure, creamy and long, with smooth spicy tannins I love this wine's pure black fruit nose, and its harmonious acidity really extends and lifts its flavors. This chateau has been on a roll of late.
(5/ 2012)
This shows a currant and berries with dark chocolate character. Full and chewy with a bright acidity. Structured too. A little austere. Wait and see. Only about 40% of the normal production. 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot.
(4/ 2012)
**+ 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot. Cab Franc nose. Good depth. A powerful wine. One of the best of the vintage. Each one of us loved this wine. Trey: New wave nose, lots of oak, creamy sweet and lush on the mid-palate. Ripe, fleshy tannins and a sweet finish. Loads of fruit and concentration. Lots of stuffing. 92-94 points. RS: As usual the great vineyard of Léoville produced three superb wines, and all could be considered for wine of the vintage. Barton and Las Cases show the power, and Poyferré shows the "silky side" of this great vineyard. All demonstrate rich layers of fruit and complexity that most wines in 2011 just do not have. The Poyferré's fruit is blood red and silky. Good weight. A terrific wine. ** AP: Just call them butter, 'cause they're on a roll! This is the third vintage in a row that Poyferré made one of the best wines of the vintage. This wine is gorgeous, with black cherry, cola and mashed sour blackberries. Layered, with nice length and good fruit. Shows some tannins.

Congenital protein C or S deficiency is a lack of proteins C or S in the fluid part of the blood. The proteins are natural substances that help prevent blood clots.
Protein S deficiency; Protein C deficiency
Congenital protein C or S deficiency is an inherited disorder, which means it is passed down through families. Congenital means it is present at birth.
The disorder causes abnormal blood clotting.
About 1 out of every 300 people has one normal gene and one faulty gene for protein C deficiency.
Protein S deficiency occurs in about 1 in 20,000 people.
If you have this condition, you are more likely to develop blood clots. The symptoms are the same as for deep venous thrombosis, and include:
Laboratory tests will be done to check for proteins C and S.
Blood-thinning drugs (heparin and warfarin) are used to treat and prevent blood clots.
The outcome is usually good with treatment, but symptoms may return.
In rare cases, using warfarin to thin the blood and prevent clots can cause brief increased clotting and severe skin wounds. Patients are at risk if they are not treated with the blood-thinning drug heparin before taking warfarin.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of clotting in a vein (such as swelling and redness of the leg).
If your health care provider diagnoses you with this disorder, you should be careful to prevent clots from forming. This can occur when the blood moves slowly in the veins, such as from prolonged bed rest during an illness, surgery, hospital stay, or prolonged reduced activity such as long airplane or car trips.

Gov. Mitt Romney fired up a crowd of about 2,000 enthusiastic Northern Nevada voters today, urging them to get to the polls and help him take the battleground state that is Nevada 13 days from now.
Romney told the crowd that President Obama is out of ideas, out of excuses and will be out of office come Nov. 6.

Q & A With Eric Dane: A Preview of the Grey's Anatomy Magazine Interviewby Steve Marsi at .
We've talked previously about the new Grey's Anatomy Magazine, and how it will be bringing fans the latest news on your favorite show, interviews with the cast and crew, behind-the-scenes revelations from the set; and other great features and news.
Below is a sneak preview of the magazine's interview with Eric Dane, offered to Grey's Anatomy Insider exclusively by the magazine.
Setting pulses racing as the steamy Dr. Mark Sloan since he arrived at Seattle Grace in Season Two, actor Eric Dane reveals to Grey's Anatomy Magazine about his time so far on the hit show, Addison, Meredith, and why Mark is just misunderstood...
Eric Dane: No. It was just an audition. I had read for [Shonda Rhimes] before when they were casting the pilot. I read for this character and obviously, I ended up getting the role, but I don't think they had any intentions of making Dr. Sloan a regular at Seattle Grace.
Grey's Anatomy Magazine: Your first appearance in the episode "Yesterday" made quite an impression on audiences. Did you expect the 'water cooler' aspect of what your character and performance would bring to the show?
Eric Dane: I didn't. I didn't even watch it and still haven't experienced my shockwave, because it's surreal to me. The week after that episode aired, the people from (Grey's Anatomy) called me and offered me a job, and I jumped at the opportunity.
Grey's Anatomy Magazine: In "Don't Stand So Close To Me," Izzie has a great moment standing up to Mark's demeaning request for coffee, which ends up showing a more likeable side to Sloan. Was that a big moment for your character?
Grey's Anatomy Magazine: Did you interview real plastic surgeons to come to understand Sloan's specialization?
Eric Dane: No, but one of my really good friends is a really great plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. He had some hazing. Interns get hazed by the Attendings, and they get put through the wringer and the obstacle course that is the hospital. It's a big part of dealing with the circumstances of the hospital where they are.
Grey's Anatomy Magazine: Mark can really be a colossal-sized jerk!
Eric Dane: He's very flawed. I love the fact that the trap or pitfalls of writing a character like Mark Sloan is that you get pigeonholed into turning him into a one-trick pony, where he becomes the resident cantankerous, codger p**k. But [the writers] are really good at playing against that.
They pick their spots because he is "that guy," so they have to make him "that guy" at certain moments, but they are really good at exposing his vulnerability. They are really unpredictable, too, and I think Grey's Anatomy, on a whole, is unpredictable. I think that's why people love watching it. They love watching these really great characters that are terribly flawed. You never know what is going to happen next.
We're working on a deal to give away free magazines as a part of our weekly Caption Contest. In the meantime, to read the full interview in Issue #1 of Grey's Anatomy Magazine, pick up your copy on newsstands now. For more on what's in the first issue, and to subscribe online, click here.

Just got a cipy and I'm not terribly impressed. There's not really anything NEW and there are some inaccuracies....like Ellis Gray had Alz & "CANCER" ???? I know she had heart problems...but if she had cancer, I missed it.
Haven't read enough to see if there's anything else that's incorrect.
Some nice photos of the GA gang, an interview with Shonda Rimes and Betsy Beers, some story summaries...I'll probably continue to get it, but I'm not going to get as excited as I was to get the first one....

The Gryphon Trio, performing an original program for the Clark, will open with a Haydn Piano Trio, followed by a short multimedia chamber work, "Old Photographs," with music written especially for this project. The trio will also perform the lovely Ravel Piano Trio and a set of tangos of the Americas. Tickets are $25 ($20 members, $10 students). To order tickets, click here or call 413 458 0524.
Having impressed international audiences and the press with their highly refined, dynamic performances, the Gryphon Trio has firmly established itself as one of the world's preeminent piano trios and is redefining chamber music for the 21st century. For eight years, the Gryphon Trio has been ensemble-in-residence at Music Toronto. The group tours widely throughout North America and Europe and has recorded extensively for the Analekta label. Deeply committed to the education of the next generations of audiences and performers alike, the Gryphons take time out of their busy touring schedule to conduct master classes and workshops at universities and conservatories across North America. The Los Angeles Times raved, "This is a piano trio that plays with strength and unanimity…big, bold, almost orchestral performances. The Gryphon brings bravura spirit to the piano trio."
Prior to the concert, enjoy a delicious three-course fixed-price dinner at 6 pm in the Clark Café. There will be several choices of appetizers or soup, entrée, and dessert. $29 per person (does not include beverage, tax, or gratuity). Reservations are required; call 413 458 0524 to reserve.
This program is made possible in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire.

Valley City supermarket remembering 9/11 victimsValley City, ND (WDAY TV) - A Valley City Supermarket is honoring those who died on 9/11 in a unique way.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
A Valley City Supermarket is honoring those who died on 9/11 in a unique way. The grocery store is selling a unique print of the Manhattan skyline in an effort to raise money for the Valley City Fire Department.
What makes this print so unique is the picture was taken by a West Fargo photographer just days before 9/11.
Proceeds from sales of the print at Marketplace Foods in Valley City will help the local fire department here buy another infrared camera firefighters can use when searching for victims at fire scenes.
The posters are $10. The store hopes to raise enough money to help the fire department pay for the $10,000 thermal imaging camera.

Brooke is relieved when Ridge calls just to let her know that a storm is brewing for tomorrow and he wants her to drive carefully. Stephanie makes a remark when Brooke asks Eric if she can leave early so she can get ready for her day with Ridge. After he sends her home, he lectures Stephanie about how her anger is affecting her life. He guesses her blood pressure is out of whack and tries to convince her that she cannot control everyone in her life. Stephanie repeats that she's trying to protect her son. At the Malibu beach house Taylor warns Ridge that if she keeps kissing her, he's going to break his "no sex" rule. He lets her know that he called Brooke to warn her about the weather and after she leaves, Stephanie calls to find out how his day with Taylor went. He orders her to back off and hangs up. Taylor returns home and tries to reassure her twin girls that she believes Ridge will eventually decide to be with her. Stephanie arrives, smiling to hear all went well at the beach but worries to Taylor that Brooke might be up to something. Back at the beach house, Ridge hops into the shower and is unaware that Brooke has arrived early. Hearing the noise from the bathroom, Brooke strips and surprises him. As they get wet together, she asks him to start the rest of their lives together right now.

Seems she was in a coma and taken away. She regained consciousness and wanted her husband and children so she was brought back to Ridge.
One small problem, Ridge had married Brooke and has a new family. He is now taking turns at the beach house trying to decide which "wife" he wants to spend his life with.
Yeah right! Taking turns! Only on the Soaps! I would kick me some butts and say Adious!

:rofl Me too!!
I like Brooke but she's just so trashy! Taylor on the other hand is intelligent and has a heart of gold. But boy, how many times does this woman die and come back? :shock: And it's always the same: both women fighting over Ridge, who then has the ultimate power of deciding who he wants to be with (after "test driving" each woman). For two intelligent women, they sure are weak-minded when it comes to Ridge... :? I think the best way to end this drama is for Ridge to marry both women so that we can finally end this seemingly endless and repetitive scenario and move on to another storyline.....
I still love B&B but I'm thinking that they need to infuse the show with some fresh characters so as to end these near-incestious relationships....

[quote=PREVIEWS][size=9]Thomas offers comfort to a panicked Gabriela. Worried about her future, Brooke reaches out to her ex-husband Eric. Don't miss Tuesday's episode, when Ridge finally is forced to choose between his two wives, Brooke and Taylor! The woman who loses out in his verdict isn't quick to admit defeat, and races against the clock in hopes of altering her fate. Elsewhere in L.A., Dante makes a very favorable impression on Jackie. However, her son Nick doesn't find the Italian stallion nearly so appealing. Ridge also develops a suspicious attitude toward Dante. Will he learn the truth about Dante's juicy past with Taylor?
Friday, June 24, 2005
Ridge returns to the beach house with groceries and finds Brooke is gone and a steaming mad Stephanie waiting. She quickly orders him to stop wasting time and pick Taylor. When she raises her voice at him, he counters with his own shouting, telling her that the more she badmouths Brooke, the more he feels for his wife. As he tells her he's through with her, Stephanie feels a chest pain. As she struggles to handle the pain and discomfort, Stephanie pleads with Ridge not to do this to her. Wearing only one of Ridge's shirts, Brooke returns home to face Taylor who lectures her about trying to seduce Ridge. She guesses that Brooke has actually made Ridge's decision a lot easier by being unable to follow the rules he issued. Brooke refuses to apologize and claims that Ridge isn't sorry she was there either since she knows they would have had sex if Stephanie hadn't interrupted. Later, Taylor's uncomfortable when Dante shows up at the house. Thomas finally calms down long enough to agree to marry Gaby and as the frustrated minister pronounces them husband and wife, Thomas and Gaby kiss quietly. Gaby wonders if they've done the wrong thing but Thomas assures her that no one will find out. After they sign the paper making it official, Nick returns to the same chapel, looking for Bridget's purse and spots them kissing. When Gaby steps away, Nick confronts Thomas who begs him not to tell anyone. Nick insists they return to L.A. tonight and then lets him go.

Soap Opera Digest: Your skin is pretty fair. How did you do under that Pacific sun on Palau?
Tom Westman: I used plenty of sunblock. I knew a sunburn would have been the end of the game for me. Irishmen on the equator don't do really well.
Digest: That sounds like a new reality show: IRISHMEN ON THE EQUATOR.
Westman: Yeah, take a bunch of Northern Europeans, put them on the equator with no sunblock and see how they do [laughs].
Digest: There's no denying that you've got that New Yawk accent.
Westman: It's a funny thing because even friends of mine who have New York accents saw me on SURVIVOR and told me, "Dude, I could hardly understand you." The other 19 contestants would laugh whenever I started to speak.
Digest: How crazy has your life been post-SURVIVOR?
Westman: I've spent more time on planes in the last three weeks than I did in the last three years. I almost feel like I'm training for AMAZING RACE because it's running, switching luggage and it's out the door I go.
Digest: Do people know your name now?
Westman: When I call someone now, I say, "This is Tom from SURVIVOR: PALAU." It's so funny, that introduction has become my last name: Survivor Palau.
Digest: Still working as a fireman?
Westman: Yeah. I've got my 20 years in August and at that time, I could retire and take my pension, so that's a heavy discussion at home right now. My wife has been pushing for that anyway. Most of the arguments that I had against it were taken away when I won [SURVIVOR] so that's another reason she's happy.
On the set
Digest: What do your fellow firefighters think about you being on a soap opera?
Westman: If you stick out from the crowd at all in the firehouse, you're just wearing the abuse sign. To go on reality TV and then to follow up with the other kinds of things that I'm doing, like the cover of TV Guide, gives them a lifetime of ammunition. Maybe that's the real reason that I need to retire now. I'm just too big of a target [laughs].
Digest: How has the fame affected your home life and your family?
Westman: It's been crazy at home and the kids have started to chafe at it a bit. Just in our small town, if we go up to get a half gallon of milk, it's a meet-and-greet with the neighbors. I love it and it's fun but my kids are getting to "Enough." But they're enjoying their moment of fame within their school and from their teachers.
Digest: So your whole town will probably tune in to see you on B&B?
Westman: Everybody's been asking me, "What's next?" and then I tell them, "I'm going to be on BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL." So there's already a buzz about that.
Digest: Does Lorenzo make a believable fireman?
Westman: He's not quite as good-looking as some of the New York firefighters [laughs], but he does have a better tan.
Digest: Are your uniforms as tight as Hector and his men?
Westman: Mine don't fit me like that.
Digest:What do you think of this acting thing?
Westman: You can put me in front of a burning building and I have no problem with going in and doing my job. But standing in the watchhouse of a television set was a little rattling for me.
Digest: What would you do if you got discovered and you were offered more acting jobs?
Westman: I'm leaving all doors open. Winning SURVIVOR gave me a buffer year for me to figure out the next career and I'm casting a wide net. I'm not delusional enough to believe that reality TV leads into acting. It's so funny because people tell me, "Oh, you're going to be an actor." To me, that's as ridiculous as if they said, "You're going to get picked up by NASA and go to space." I'm not an astronaut and I'm not an actor, so to make that transition, I don't get it. Once people see you on TV, they think you can be on TV, but the fact of the matter is, I'm sure I gave evidence today that I'm not an actor. Even if I wanted that, it would be acting classes and committing my whole life to a craft. I don't believe it's that easy.

At first glance it seemed like bad news. Another spanner in the Pompey Trust bid for ownership of the club. Balram Chainrai's Portpin are not happy at the Football League's rejection of the Keith Harris bid for Pompey. On Friday 22 Februaury the BBC website reported: Portpin claims the Harris bid would mean it received £6.3m for the stadium, as opposed...Read More
There has been a rare old tussle going on down Pompey way this last week. In microcosm our beleagured club continues to be a perfect illustration of all that is questionable about football governance as it currently stands. On 7 February it appeared that the long running Pompey Supporters' Trust bid to buy the club was about to be scuppered by a consortium led...Read More

Please see our customer support portal, where you can find an answer to your problem or contact our customer support team.
None - there is no setup or monthly fee and it will always remain so!
You can configure your payout from the top right hand corner under "Payout configuration". Fortumo supports monthly and one-time payouts to both, private individuals and companies. The minimum payout is 100 EUR (~ 150 USD).
In most countries there is no difference. If it is regulated by the local law, private person has to declare earned revenue as his income. In Latvia and Lithuania, only registered companies can receive payouts from Fortumo. For VAT registered companies from Estonia, the VAT is also added to the payout.
Yes it is, but due to the market regulations we are not able to provide subscription based payments via self-service portal. To activate subscription-based billing send us a short note about your plans and countries you are interested in to email@example.com.
In Fortumo's web interface, all inactive accounts are deleted automatically. Just delete all your active services and do not to use your account anymore.
You will find that information from the dashboard. You can view your overall performance from the "Revenue" tab. If you are interested in detailed number for each separate service, go to "My Services" tab. In addition, "Estimated next payouts" will show the revenue according to the payout cycle.
Your payout will be made by the 15th day of the month if the following conditions are met: 1. Payouts have been correctly configured on the Payouts tab. 2. Revenue to be paid out exceeds 100 EUR. 3. The payout cycle for the respective month and country is completed
Payout cycle refers to the period needed for collecting revenue from mobile operators. It varies by country, but is on average 2-3 months. If you are interested in a detailed breakdown of payout cycles by country, please contact us at email@example.com.
Fortumo supports wire transfers to bank accounts and payouts through PayPal and Skrill. The following transactions costs apply to each payout:
- PayPal: free (Please see exceptions: Paypal.com)
- Skrill: 1 EUR
- Wire transfer to EU country: 1 EUR
- Wire transfer to a country outside EU: 8 EUR
Fortumo isn't withholding any taxes from your revenue, but you might be required to pay income tax of your own country, if you are a private individual. VAT from the messages sent is declared by the mobile operators. All the revenue shares and the calculations are without VAT. Since Fortumo as a company is registered in EU, 0% VAT is added to all the payments.
To transfer money to your bank account, we need to know your IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and BIC (Bank Identification Code), also known as the SWIFT address of the bank. BIC & SWIFT are 8-letter code s that identify the bank, and the format looks like DABADKKK or HABALV22. Usually it can be found on the website of your bank.
The time needed to collect the money your services have earned varies by country and is usually several months. The payout is made after revenue has been received. You can see the length of the payout cycle for each country at the coverage and payouts page.
The money may decrease when some messages with status "pending" change to "failed". It may happen if the operator fails to deliver the billing report or the end-user refuses to pay the bill.
End-users are always billed together with the local tax (VAT, sales-tax, etc.), but such taxes are typically handled by mobile operators. Therefore Fortumo is sharing revenue from the end-user price exclusive from taxes. I.e. the user is billed €10, VAT is €2 and payout percentage is 85%, you as a developer will get €6.8 to your bank account. All the payout percentages found from countries page are from the end-user price without VAT.
Some mobile operators do not have an infrastructure to connect past transactions with refunds and uncollected funds. In such cases operators treat uncollected sum as bad debt which is withheld from the payout.
This can be because of mobile operators have either refunded some of your end-users or collected a bad debt (people did not pay their phone bill) or you have missed the part that the revenue sharing is calculated from the end-user price without VAT. If any of the above-mentioned reasons is not valid, it may be a technical error on our side. In that case, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In correlation with the mobile operators' settlement cycle we are converting the currency once a month with a commercial exchange rate. It is done on the first business day of the month of the particular payout.
Typically yes, but It depends on a country and mobile operator regulations. Let us know what do you need and we'll see how we can help you.
All new services are created in sandbox mode, no real transactions are generated. 5 transactions per country can be made for testing purposes even if the service is still under approval. After you have made sure everything is working, click "Go Live" next to the service on your Dashboard's My Services - General tab.
No. Service is only available with contract and pre-paid clients of local operators. If you want to provide your service for other countries' citizens you should create a service for those countries separately.
In some of the countries it is required by mobile operators to approve every new payment service. Typically it takes less than 24 hours, but in very few countries couple of days. For approval you need to submit your game/website URL or mobile app and explain briefly how the payment will be used.
Yes. You can easily view all the incoming transactions with phone numbers on your Dashboard under the Transaction view.
There is no limit and each account can have as many services as needed.
Service is valid as far as it receives payments. If during 60 days no payments are received, a notification will be sent to your e-mail. After that you will have 3 days to reactivate your service - you must either send a message to the service yourself or advertise it so the customers will send messages. If no payments are received after that, the service will be stopped and the keyword will become available.
You can easily add new countries to your existing service in 1-2 minutes. Follow this step-by-step guide:
1. Click on the service in your Fortumo account
2. Choose EDIT
3. You are delivered to a new page, where under title "Adding, modifying and removing countries", choose MODIFY.
4. Now you are ready to add new countries.
Please be aware than when changing price point of your existing service, in some countries the service goes under approval again.
You can easily remove countries from your existing service in 1-2 minutes. Follow this step-by-step guide:
1. Click on the service in your Fortumo account
2. Choose EDIT
3. You are delivered to a new page, where under title "Adding, modifying and removing countries", choose MODIFY.
4. Now you are ready to remove countries.
Please be aware than when changing price point of your existing service, in some countries the service goes under approval again.
Adult, lotteries, gambling and donation related services are strictly forbidden.
MO and MT billing are the two methods how carriers charge users.
With MO-billing (Mobile Originating Billing), the end-user is charged for sending a message, thus the billing status is checked before the request to service backend.
With MT-billing (Mobile Terminating Billing) operators charge for the reply-message sent back to the user. In this case, users are billed only when they receive the reply-message. If there are not enough funds on the balance, the reply message is not delivered. Please note, that with MT-billing the billing status is checked after the request to service back-end.
Different operators support different billing methods, for additional information please check the countries page.
Status "pending" means the transaction was completed but no information regarding the billing success is yet available. Status "ok" means that the operator has managed to successfully bill the end-user and "failed" means the opposite, end-user was not billed and you will not be paid for this transaction.
Please notice that "pending" status doesn't mean the billing is unsuccessful. It means the billing report has not been sent to us yet. Actually, in most cases "pending" status in MO-billing countries already means the "OK" status. Billing will turn failed only when users refuse to pay their mobile bill at the end of month, but this is very rare. So in MO-countries you should also provide service to users with pending billing. Although for MT countries the billing status is usually available instantly, in some cases it can take some time before it changes to either "ok" or "failed".
To protect the end-users and at the same time avoid services abuse we have set a limit of 100 messages per phone number, per 30 day period.
- Due to market regulations, in Denmark the limit is 50 messages.
- In Latin America countries customers are usually limited to 60 messages in 30 days.
- In United Kingdom customer is limited to £30 per day. Exceeding amounts will not be billed.
For restrictions in other countries check the countries page.
Sometimes operators fail to bill the customer. This may happen for example when the end-user does not enough balance on the pre-paid card or there was an error in operator's billing platform. In such cases the end-user is not billed.
Usually yes, although it's not always guaranteed. Please contact your operator for additional information.
First, check if the user has sent the message to the right short code and started the message with the right keyword. If yes, then check your service's settings - is the service still active and the back-end properly set up. If no problems are found, please contact our Customer Support team (firstname.lastname@example.com) explaining the issue, also send us the phone number of the customer with date and time the message was sent. This will help us to investigate the case.
In MT countries the customer is billed for receiving the reply message. If there is not enough balance, the reply message is not sent. As many services are initiated by the back-end request, it's important to avoid providing the service if the transaction was not successful. By taking advantage of the billing reports, it's possible to receive the billing status of the transaction.
Because of privacy restrictions, some operators (e.g. Excelcom in Indonesia) use a unique hash or an alias instead of the phone number. Thus, they send use a unique string instead.
Direct billing means that the payment is done using a data connection and no SMS is sent. Direct request are done to operator without dealing with SMS. PS! Direct billing does not work without a data connection. This means it's not possible to use direct billing with API.
Please check our tutorials and examples of the Integration Guideline. Setting up a secure back-end requires some developer skills, so it's better to use a help of a professional.
By default, it's Latin alphabet. Non Latin alphabets like Cyrillic or Greek can also be used, but they might not work in countries where such alphabets are not used.
Error message is sent if our system is unable to reach your back-end. There might be several reasons:
1. Hosting server is experiencing technical problems.
2. You have specified a wrong back-end URL.
3. There is an error with your script.
The correct response from the back-end is the HTTP error code 200 (Success) with non-empty reply message.
If the request contains an error and the message should not be billed, your back-end should response with a HTTP code 600 (e.g. header("HTTP/1.0 600 Error", true, 600)). If possible, the reply message will be free of charge or with the minimum price.
We constantly work on expanding our coverage and most probably that particular country will be connected in the nearest future. You can also drop us a note at email@example.com so we could prioritize certain countries.
A generic XML file is available for every API service containing detailed information about price points, short codes, marketing materials etc. The link is available under "Setup" tab of the service's profile.
We also suggest you check our dedicated Developers' Portal for more technical questions.
Our mission is to offer a universal international mobile payment platform. Since there are different messaging standards in most of the countries, we have reduced the limit to make sure that your reply message would always reach your customers. Please not that using non Latin letters may reduce the limit.
Please integrate the last version of library, so it would work with your integration.
We also suggest you check our dedicated Developers' Portal for more technical questions.
Currently it is not possible to test in-app purchases on device without sending an actual SMS message. If you want to test the server-side integration then you can use the test tab on Fortumo's Dashboard. If you click test then a request is made to your payment forwarding URL like when you make a real payment on device. On the test tab you can put something random to the end-user id and payment code fields since they would be filled automatically by the in-app library. You can use the product_name field in-app and under the test tab to transfer information about the user (e.g. user name).
No, the widget is with fixed texts in compliance with the texts in all countries. As it is only the payment step, you can always present the whole process before this final step.
We also suggest you check our dedicated Developers portal for more technical questions.
Technical documentation can be found in the Fortumo Developers' Portal.
There are two possibilities:
1) Using a credit card from a country which is not supported. NOOK devices are sold only in UK and US therefore currently only credit cards from those countries are accepted.
2) Using game.apk on a regular Android device (non-NOOK device). Live credit card based payments are working only on the NOOK devices.
No. In-app purchasing history is available for the customer service department in case of questions.
New services are approved within 24 hours after submitting the information.
The developer account is created instantly and access to the account is also given instantly after signing up. Until you get your app approved, all the payments will be working in the Sandbox mode.
Yes, users can set up as many accounts as they want on one device.
Developers should e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. End-user questions should be directed at email@example.com.
Yes, it is possible to restore non-consumable items, unless the user changes the NOOK device or performs a factory reset. If the developer chooses to keep track of payments (for example through user accounts within the app) it is possible to synchronize payments across devices. Ask our integration manager for further help.
Yes you can. When the Nook in-app payments service is in the Sandbox mode you can use test credit card numbers. Read more from our Developer's Portal.
When initializing a payment in In-App Library, you use in-app secret. When verifying a payment using the receipt verification request, you use the other secret available in service information tab on Fortumo Dashboard.
The user receives a receipt via e-mail after every purchase.
Yes, purchasing histories such as upgrading from a free app to a for-pay app are retained for use across multiple tablets.
For approval we require a description of the application using the in-app purchase library and screenshots of the payment flow.
All major credit cards are accepted, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
You can only have one build.
Fortumo In-app Purchasing SDK supports making in-app purchases using credit card billing on NOOK devices and mobile carrier billing on all other Android tablets and phones. In order to avoid managing different builds, many developers integrate credit card and mobile payments together to increase the number of paying users on different app-stores and they only need to manage one build for all the app stores. This document will guide you through adding both of these billing methods to your app.
Non-consumable products can be purchased only once by every user. Good examples of non-consumable products are full versions of a game, new levels,an ad-free version of an an applications.
To specify whether a product is consumable or not you will use the setConsumable() method inPaymentRequestBuilder class.
You can check if the user has already bought an non-consumable item using getNonConsumablePaymentStatus(product_name).
You can read more from our Developer's Portal.
Make sure that you have switched your service to "Live" to receive real payments. You must do this for every service separately. Credit cards from USA and UK are accepted as NOOK devices are sold in only those countries.
Payments are processed using HTTPS and data integrity between Fortumo and the merchant is assured by signing the requests with a shared secret known only to Fortumo and the merchant. You can read more about security from our Developers' Portal.
No, you do not need a backend server to manage payments on single platform. However, if you wish to integrate in-app purchases with a user's online profile so that in-app purchases can be kept track of and shared between different devices and platforms, you can opt in to receive receipt verification requests live to your server after each purchase.
Yes, the SDK supports payments on versions of Windows Phone up to 7.8. However, Windows Phone 7 is a legacy version of the OS and we highly recommend focusing on developing your app for Windows Phone 8.
For Windows 8 and Windows RT the following platforms are supported: .NET (Silverlight), HTML5, VB, C#.
For Windows Phone: .NET (Silverlight), HTML5, VB, C# and XNA.
Technical guidance for the integration can be found in our Developers' Portal.
Yes, the same SDK can be used for integrations on Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone 8. Additional information about the SDK can be found in our Developers' Portal.
If you wish to integrate in-app purchases with a user's online profile so that in-app purchases can be kept track of and shared between different devices and platforms, you need a backend server. Additional information on receipt verification can be found in our Developers' Portal.
Fortumo helps you by handling all inquiries related to failed payments, disputes and refunds. If your user is having a problem with a payment, please direct them to our end-user support portal http://s.fortumo.com.
If you wish to integrate in-app purchases with a user's online profile so that in-app purchases can be kept track of and shared between different devices and platforms, you need a backend server. Additional information on receipt verification can be found in our Developers' Portal.

From the Chemistry Alumni Newsletter (October 2011)
Chemistry Alumna Wins College of Education Outstanding Educator Alumni Award
When Sarah Toman earned her BS in Chemistry, Education and Mathematics in 2002 from GVSU, little did she know that in less than 10 years she would be conferred with the College of Education Outstanding Educator Alumni Award. After teaching high school for several years, Sarah eventually earned a master's degree in instruction and curriculum with advanced content specialization in chemistry in 2010. Sarah, who currently teaches at Western Michigan Christian High School (WMCHS) in Muskegon, was a member of the first GVSU Chemistry Department Target Inquiry (TI) cohort. In 2009, Sarah was named the "Mole of the Year" by the National Mole Day Foundation. Through the TI program, Sarah has given numerous presentations on laboratory activities at regional and national meetings such as the national meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). At its convocation ceremony in April 27, 2011, the College of Education honored Sarah with the Outstanding Educator Alumni Award. The award, which is selected from nominations submitted by alumni colleagues, peers, and former professors, recognizes the impact of contributions to the education community, as well as enhancements to school initiatives. Members of the COE Alumni Board make the final selection. Sarah is highly respected by her students and colleagues.
"Sarah is a rare exceptional teacher that both challenges and connects with the students", said a faculty colleague at WMCHS. "Working with a teacher like Sarah makes those around her want to be better at what they do", said Dena Chilson, Director of Instruction at WMCHS.

The CLAS Alumni Board, which held its first meeting in September 2007, now has 19 members representing our college's diverse alumni. These successful and influential graduates of CLAS programs assist the dean to advance the college's mission and strategic goals. At annual meetings and through the work of subcommittees throughout the year, this board encourages ongoing relationships between alumni and the college, the growth of internship and co-op opportunities for students, advocacy with legislators and other influencial friends, and networks to improve career options for our graduates. The most recent meeting of the CLAS Alumni Board was October 8, 2011.
Distinguished Alumni-in-Residence
The CLAS Distinguished Alumni-in-Residence Program provides a venue for departments to invite outstanding alumni back to campus to share their post-graduation experiences with the GVSU community. Through the program, our distinguished alumni have the opportunity to share their insights about what constitutes strong academic preparation for students.
Homecoming 2011 will be on Saturday, October 29! This year our theme is GVSU, You Put A Spell on Me. Come help us celebrate. See Mindgating page.
